Image Replication

When Do I Need to Replicate an Image?

  • In-region replication

    This is used for conversion between encrypted and unencrypted images or for enabling advanced features (such as fast ECS creation) for images. For details, see Replicating Images.

How Long Does It Take to Replicate an Image?

The time required for replicating an image depends on the network transmission speed and the number of tasks in the queue.

What Is the Charge for Image Replication?

  • In-region replication

    The replicas of system disk and data disk images are stored in OBS buckets for free.

    Note

    Full-ECS images cannot be replicated within the same region.
